The dutch are also the tallest people in the world so that's not a particularly good comparison.

Pre-WW2 they were the shortest. It's all about the socialism! Walking down the street in the Netherlands is a trip: the old people are little dwarfs scurrying around the legs of the giant young people. (I'm 6', I felt short for the first time in my life.) If different countries have different height distributions, are S, R, and L jackets from each country designed for the same height range?

Is that photo of Chuck photoshopped? He always looks like he has a keg, not a six pack. As Tito Ortiz said, "Look at that belly. You should be called the Snowman!" Not that I would say this to his face.

Nah I'm sure he did a heavy cut for the photo shoot to get below 10% bodyfat. I'd say he normally fights at 10-12% -- hardly the 6-pack levels displayed in rags like Men's Health.

you think you felt short, try being 5'7". Then try wandering through Amsterdam on a bustling friday afternoon after having gone a bit overboard on certain local specialties known for inducing paranoia. No fun at all.

What I find frustrating about all of these articles is that I am so freaking normal that none of them really are any help. Nobody writes anything about those of us who are neither short nor tall, fat nor skinny nor muscular etc. The same thing goes for color theory. I look at those freaking charts and I fall somewhere in the middle of every single season rendering them absolutly useless.

I had to struggle with exactly this issue. What to say about the man who has no issues? I did write a short chapter about such men, and the advice -- while not groundbreaking -- is at least not false. The fact is, there is not much to say except, You are lucky, wear anything you want.
